It's a Hunting Percival Jet Provost T.4 painted as an aircraft at the Royal Air Force College, Cranwell in 1962.
The model is built straight from the kit using one of the two decal sets provided. The only change I've made is to paint in the red and green navigation lights on the tips of the wing tanks. In the Airfix instructions these are shown as black.
It's an enjoyable kit to build and goes together with only minimal filling and sanding required. The hardest part of the build was the sweeping curve of orange paint under the nose. I couldn't find a way to mask it so I had to handpaint it. I'm pretty happy with how it worked out.
I think I might get another of these kits. The other paint scheme also has a tricky curved demarcation line to paint so I might invest in a pack of Xtradecal after-market decals to finish it.
